“I write music with an exclamation point!” -Richard Wagner
There’s no middle ground on Richard Wagner. You either love him or hate him. Correction: there is a kind of middle ground that most people, including me, dwell in. To oversimplify, it is this: love the art; hate the artist. Wagner was a despicable man. He was proudly anti-Semitic and wrote those views into his characters (Alberich, anyone?). He was self-centered, violent, and had bad manners. But, oh, that music!
Tomorrow is Wagner’s 200th birthday. In celebration, here are 16 things about Wagner you may not know.
-We don’t know who his real father was. Most people believe his dad was Carl Friedrich Wagner, a police actuary, who died six months after Richard was born. Others think it might have been actor Ludwig Geyer, whom Richard’s mother Johanna later married.
-He once played an angel in one of Ludwig Geyer’s plays.
-He flunked out of most of his classes in school, only excelling in music.
-He considered himself to be “the most German of men.”
-His musical hero was Beethoven. Wagner and Bruckner shared mutual admiration for each others’ music.
-He briefly was the music director of the local opera company in Riga.
-His first purely musical composition was a Piano Sonata. He also wrote a String Quartet, two Symphonies, and patriotic music for Great Britain and the United States.
-He was once heterosexual life partners with Friedrich Nietzsche, before a famous falling out.
-He proudly sported the Neck Beard
-His trademark slouched beret is known in Germany as a Wagnerkappe. (Literally: Wagner hat)
-He could barely play the piano–or any instrument, for that matter–and wasn’t particularly great at reading music.
-Igor Stravinsky hated Wagner.
-Wagner’s first opera, Die Feen, was never produced during his lifetime.
-His manifesto was, “Kinder! macht Neues!” (“Children, make something new”)
-He knew how to handle the trombones: “Never look at the trombones, it only encourages them.” (This quote has also been attributed to Richard Strauss and various conductors over the years, but regardless of the source, the advice is sound.)
-He liked to wear women’s underwear.

安心して商品を預けることができるだろう 年式が古くなると中古は安くなることから、売却を検討している場合は、なるべく早い時期に売却した方が良いだろう。
もちろん、修理やオーバーホールをした方が高く売却できるが、かかった費用に見合うだけ高く買取されるかは難しく、査定額にも反映されないのである。
そのため、査定額が1円でも他社より低い場合は、交渉してみると査定額UPが期待できるかもしれない。
壊れていても、店が腕時計を修理して売りに出す事があるので、買取されないわけではないが、修理費用は、買取価格から引かれるため、正常に動作している時計よりは安く買取されることになる。
カドノ質店は「まじめんな質屋」をコンセプトにしている店舗である。
そこで ベル&ロス の時計を売る場所としてお勧めするのは、わたしどものような時計買取専門店です。
GMTは日本最大級の時計買取サイトである。
CMなどでよく見かけると安心するうえに本当に高価買取をしているのではと思いがちだが、広告費には莫大な資金が必要となるため、買取価格で還元してもらえる可能性は低いだろう。
また、時計買取専門店のため、時計に関する知識が豊富で、さらに日本最大級の腕時計買取データベースを持っているため、その時計の価値に見合った金額で買取をしてくれる。
おたからやは全国出店数ナンバー1の買取業者で、全店高価買取宣言をしている。
露骨に宣伝広告をしていない企業を選ぶ方が優良店に出会える可能性が高いといえる。
もし、査定額に納得した場合は平日2営業日以内に振り込まれる流れとなっている。
また、宅配の場合最短で翌日入金も可能である。
故障やキズ、凹みは、修理やオーバーホールで回復することもあるが、高級時計の修理やオーバーホールの費用は高く、また、海外での作業となるので、時間もかなりかかる。
オンライン査定で通常必要になる面倒な入力や登録作業が一切不要でそのまま査定を開始することができるのが魅力的だ。
箱などの外装から、説明書、保証書（ギャランティ）などが挙げられるが、この中でも、保証書は重要で、保証書が無い場合は買取を拒否される場合もあるので、必ず揃えておこう。
リサイクルショップの場合、情報の少ないアンティーク・希少な ベル&ロス の査定には向かない場合があります。
出張買取では出張費無料、さらに金額に納得できなかった場合はキャンセル料も無料である。
商談が成立すると最短30分で買取業者提携の物流業者が引き取り可能で、当日マクサス配送、検品出来次第即日入金と、買取から査定までかなり手軽にスピーディに行われる。

??Wewant to make the most of the fixtures we have at Southampton and Wigan before we go to Manchester City and Arsenal which can be an important week for us. You can see on the pitch how hard he is trying to achieve that.However,yesterday he warned: Bankers were given incentives to behave the way they did.Shadow Chancellor Ed Balls said: George Osborne doesnt get it.The plans are meant to encourage more customers to shop around.Thats different, Can they prove that a lad has positively tried to dive? athleticism and strength going forward making him a automatic choice for the majority of the campaign.
I think, Brian, that there are plenty of us who fall into another group: love the music, hate a lot of the so-called dramaturgy, hate the vile utterances of the man, love the humanism and universal qualities behind the music that makes the hatred all the more incomprehensible and loathsome.
Being Of A Certain Age, I’ve gone back and forth with RW plenty of times, since seeing a life-experience Nilsson/Windgassen Tristan und Isolde at SF Opera about 1970. Having gone through a several-decade patch when my listening pleasure alternated with Monty Pythonesque yells of “Get on with it!” I will say that the pleasures of playing the Ring Cycle, Tristan, Parsifal, Lohengrin, Tannhaüser and Dutchman with LA Opera cemented my (seemingly here-to-stay) devotion to the greatness of his odd and wonderful art.
Oh by the way, I’m pretty sure it was Strauss who came up with the bit about looking in the direction of the brass section–one of many conductorial strictures I wish more stick-holders would take to heart. Didn’t know about his love for Bruckner’s music, though I’m pretty sure, too, that Bruckner venerated RW more than the other way ’round (viz. the dedication of the AB 7th).
I think that one thing we can ALL agree on is that the neck beard is simply not on.
